I was doing some reading and I saw this quote and thought of this project:
“When the individual thinks he is casting an objective eye upon himself, he is, in the final analysis, contemplating nothing other than the result of perpetual transactions with the subjectivity of others” – Bourriaud
If I’m understanding this right, it is interesting because you’ve turned this inside out- in casting an objective eye on your subjectivity with others, you come closer to a final analysis of yourself. neat.
Thanks for this. I appreciate the quote.
I really am interested in exploring the “us” and the “we” of picture taking as I think maybe there is more insight to found in my work through that avenue of thinking, but I imagine it all comes back to the “me” in the end?
So in this, yes you are exactly right.
